Outstanding Jesus puts Gunners Champions League hopes back on track
Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus celebrates scoring their side's first goal of the game during the Uefa Champions League Group B match at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis, Lens, October 3, 2023

Sevilla 1-2 Arsenal

AN OUTSTANDING performance by Gabriel Jesus helped put Arsenal’s Champions League hopes back on track with a much-needed win in a sodden Andalusia on Tuesday evening before limping off late on.

Prior to the 26-year-old being forced off with a hamstring issue, Jesus was the hero. 

The Brazil star provided a satisfyingly outlandish assist with a display of quick feet before delivering the ball to Gabi Martinelli to run on and score moments before half time.
